Does slayer believe in god

Answer 1

They obviously don't.

They do, at leats singer Tom Araya, its a popular believe that the bands is satanic and they dont believe in God but the reason they have death and evil-related themes in theyre music is because they see more evil in the world than good. In fact, they did a song called Jesus Saves

...Naaaa have you heard their song Antichrist (i think there's a clue in there somewhere). I'll let the lyrics talk for the band.......(I am the Antichrist, That's what I'm meant to be, Forever my soul to be free.) You make up your own mind if they are or not.

Well let me tell you, the lyrics of songs don't really speak for the band, the band itself does, but im not trying to argue here, im just giving my opinion, I believe that at least Tom Araya believes in god, but some of their lyrics from songs (like Antichrist), may have been written by Kerry King, and everyone knows Kerry is Satanic, and if you don't believe me, check this interview i found:

Araya commented about the misconception of the band labeled as http://wiki.answers.com/topic/satan-5 worshippers, "Yeah, yeah I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band, but next to that just the fact that we're normal." If guitarist King writes a good song, Araya puts his beliefs aside, "I'm not one that's going to go, 'This sucks because it's contrary to my beliefs.' To me it's more like 'this is really good stuff. You're going to piss people off with this.'"

In an interview, Araya believes that "...http://wiki.answers.com/topic/jesus-christ came and taught us about love, about doing unto others. That was his preach: Accept each other for who we are. Live peacefully, and love one another." When asked if he believed in God, replied "I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God." Araya explained that he has a "really strong belief system," and Slayer's words and images will "never interfere with what I believe and how I feel.... People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a Slayer song." Tom Araya also appeared in http://wiki.answers.com/topic/sam-dunn's documentary http://wiki.answers.com/topic/metal-a-headbanger-s-journey-1, and was asked about his religious background, to which he commented "Catholic." He was also asked "http://wiki.answers.com/topic/god-hates-us-all, How does it fit in?" To which Araya replied "God doesn't hate. But it's a great f***in title." ...And if this isn't enough check this video: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=8vNEKfB2z4U
